The early releases are mainly intended for developers, and the screening of potential critical issues with new releases before publishing to the wider audience. Please make sure you backup your data (as you always should) before installing the early release, as we cannot with certainty say that you will not have any problems (such as data loss or corruption). Note that opting in to the early release program does not void your warranty.

Release Notes

This is the early access release of upgrade 1.1.4 (u13, 1.1.3/u12 got dropped early in the RC phase), to be rolled out within the next 24 hours. The current version is 1.1.4.28, see upgrade version history below. During the next week we will collect feedback, amend this page and fix issues, if necessary, followed by releasing this upgrade to all users.

Please ensure that you have ~1.5GB of free disk space before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. If connected to the internet, and your account is subscribed for early access releases, your Jolla should receive an OS update notification shortly.

As usual, – If you use patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading – If your device is running software version lower than 1.0.4.20 and have WareHouse app installed (i.e you are using OpenRepos), disable all openrepo repositories before attempting to upgrade your device. – Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. – The device screen may blank out during the update process, you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

Known issues

OS update process

Currently, checks on available disk space happens very late during the OS upgrade process and will fail in the installation phase if the disk space is low. Normally there should be an error note asking you to free some disk space and try again, but in some marginal cases it might not be shown. Should this happen, free some disk space and try to install the OS update again.

OS update may fail due to some other reasons too, for example it may have installed some packages from the new release and still have something left from the old. If the device can boot up, you can try to recover by doing the following. If not, you can attempt to recover the device using the recovery mode.

Delete the file /home/nemo/.cache/store-client/os-info

Stop the store-client process (for e.g. pkill store-client)

Reopen Settings app, check for updates again and attempt to install the OS update again

We have also noted that if the OS update is attempted while there is long queue of installation of apps from the Store, the system may end up in mixed state (for e.g. select all the apps from startup wizard, and start the system update already while the apps are being installed).

In such cases, the OS update appears to be stalled, however it is just waiting for the installations to complete before attempting to upgrade the OS. Just wait patiently, the worst thing to do here is to reboot the device!

Other issues

calDAV and cardDAV services are in experimental stage. We have made some improvements with this update, however you may still face issues with certain service providers. Do report it in t.j.c. We’ll take a look and try to sort it out.

Deleting photo from Camera roll may also delete the previous photo. If camera reel’s pulley menu has “Show details” greyed out – means the photo hasn’t been indexed yet. Deleting photo in such state will result in previous photo deleted too. If you wait long enough (~10-15seconds) for ‘Show details’ to become active, only that photo will get deleted when you choose to.
